http://myserver.mydomain/~dhughes maps to the subdirectory
/home/dhughes/public_html under the current Apache config shipped with Red
Hat Linux. /home/dhughes is created when you create the user dhughes. The
directory public_html is not.
I would suggest that you export users' home directories using SAMBA, and
let the users handle creating and populating their own public_html
directory by just mounting the SAMBA share as another drive on their
Windows 95 workstation. You may wish to assign a quota to the users too,
'cause else they'll fill your hard drive with their personal files (human
nature, sigh).
